I have officially reached the point of exhaustion both mentally and physically! I spent my entire day yesterday trying, well actually begging and pleading with my 15 month old to drink her new formula. After only drinking 10oz. of her minimally required 28oz., Ross gave her the tropical flavored milk. She drank it reluctantly, but never the less she drank 6oz. We were avoiding giving her the tropical flavored milk because it contains citric acid and we were afraid that it would irritate her, so after special-ordering 20 cans of the chocolate flavor we had to call back this morning and see if they could over-night the tropical flavor. I know that I am rambling, and rightfully so since she screamed for 41/2 hours last night!!!

Pure and undefiled religion before our God andFather is this:to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keeponeself unstained by the world. -James 1:27

Eosinophil

is the least common of the white blood cells. They make up 2-4% of the white blood count. Children with eosinophilic disease have increased numbers of eosinophils in their blood, GI tract, and/or organs. Produced in the bone marrow, eosinophils then migrate to tissues throughout the body. When a foreign substance (an allergen or parasite, for example) enters the body, lymphocytes and neutrophils (other types of white blood cells) release certain substances to attract eosinophils which release toxic substances killing the invader.
